International Student

Australia offers internationally recognised courses and degrees, with the reputations of many of our providers speaking for themselves. One of the things that make Australia unique and so different from other countries is our proximity to Asia, which allows us the opportunity to form connections and develop friendships with our Asian neighbours.

Student Visa Option

A simplified student visa framework (SSVF) came into effect on 1 July 2016 in an effort to make applying for a student visa simpler to navigate for international students.

The Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs (DHA) website has further information on this framework, but SSVF means that:

  • international students will apply for a single Student visa (subclass 500) regardless of their chosen course of study.
  • a single immigration risk framework will apply to all international students
  • all students and student guardians will generally be required to lodge their visa application online by creating an account in ImmiAccount
  • Department of home affairs has a fact sheet for genuine temporary entrant (GTE) visa criteria. To find out if you are eligible, download the easy to read the information on their website.

Please visit Australian Immigration website for more detailed information.
